Luis, did you upgrade tor just before you noticed this problem?  Do you 
use privoxy or vidalia?

Immediately after an upgrade to tor some time ago, I began experiencing a 
similar problem.  I noticed that I seem to no longer have the option to 
choose socks 4a but must use socks5 which last I knew is not really 
compatible with privoxy, which might explain my problem.

I'd like to troubleshoot this by encrypted email if anyone is willing.

Tor works at first sight normally,but is it really secure?
